Activity - Morning-Eveningness Questionnaire PDF

ACTIVITY - Are you a night owl or an early bird?
Our bodies have an internal clock, called the circadian rhythm, that tells us when
it is the best time for us to sleep, wake up, eat, do exercise, learn and a number
of other things. Not everyone’s body clock is the same. Some people feel their
best in the morning, while other people feel their best at night. Some people can go to sleep easily
early in the evening, while other people have trouble going to sleep before midnight.
Understanding your body clock will help you to understand what times of the day you are more
productive and what times are the best for you to sleep.
Instructions
A. Read each question carefully
B. Answer each question as honestly as possible. Do not go back and check your answers. Your
first response is usually the most accurate
C. Answer ALL questions.
